Melbourne Cup in 24 hours.
I’ve done pretty well the past couple Cups, hitting nice exactas and tri’s, but I reckon this year there’s fuckall value so only going to play the race as the first leg in the late quaddie.
Selections.
- INCENTIVISE going at shortest odds since Phar Lap. Don’t know if he can go the distance, but form and race record says everything. The hype says he can’t lose.
the weight he copped for the Caufield Cup run says he can lose, but sh*t that was a good run

Still looking for upsetters, I’m going to throw in a couple more 5yo geldings 16 GRAND PROMENADE and 22 FLOATING ARTIST, both should stay the trip at very low weights, peaking condition, and the latter has Ted Nugent in the saddle.
-
I almost never follow the hype - but, today I'm going to. Because my TAB account is in a bad way. (I really should stick to sports betting and leave horses well alone).
I am assured by Jimmy Cassidy that Incentivise is going to shit in.
...and a little place bet on Tralee Rose just in case Jimmy is horribly wrong.

I’m getting a last minute feeling last years’ winner and topweight Irish import 1 TWILIGHT PAYMENT might repeat. I’m adding to all my tickets as an insurance policy!!
-
OMG!!! Amazing. J-Mac (NZ) Chris Waller (NZ) VERRY ELLEEGANT (NZ)
-
She uckin’ killed ‘em. What a finish.

@kid-chocolate Sentiment sometimes gets there!
My TAB account gets sicker!

My fave jockey, fave trainer, fave horse. Just won the Melbourne Cup. I can’t believe it. Pinch me. And I just hit the tri, the superfecta, and I’m alive deep in the quaddie. Pinch me!

Up until Friday nobody knew VE was even going to start in the Cup. McDonald has just lost his ride, and I don’t recall Waller ever mentioning at any time this year that she was targeting the Melbourne Cup. Really seemed like an afterthought. Small horse, big weight, and she exploded on them. She could have gone another 400m and drawn more daylight.
Three days ago!!!
I’m looking forward to comments, but if I had to guess, if JMac doesn’t get scratched off that import Away He Goes early in the week, and J-Mac doesn’t ride that morning workout, then I’m guessing Waller doesn’t even enter VE in the race. James must’ve sold him.

@kid-chocolate nice work, Im looking at my cox plate bet and thinking damn right horse wrong day, double loss lol
-
@kid-chocolate To be honest, I just looked at the weight she had to carry and discounted her.
When Incentivise hit the front, I was just congratulating myself on backing the sure thing, when she sprinted past and no-one even looked like catching her.

and incredibly, she is by Zed. Who was only about $1500 service fee.
Freak!
Loved it!

I read somewhere today it was a $500 stud fee!!!!
I watched the race at midnight, stayed up until 4:30 a.m. wired and buzzing, had a real hard time getting up for work two hours later.
The trifecta payout was sadly kinda chalky, my 60-center (4-2-3) paid $198, but my 20-cent superfecta (first 4 finishers) paid me $588, and I hit the 20-cent quaddie for $768. (I also hit the early and late Randwick quaddies.) Wagered $250 total, so had a good night. But really, I didn’t give a crap about the dividends, it was all about the champion.

That was his original price.

I wonder if they changed those mares' names to Marsellus and Wallace.
